Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
D-Link, an industry leader in networking, introduces the new D-Link DAP-1513 Wireless N Dual Band MediaBridge®. With the
ability to transfer les with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 300Mbps*, the DAP-1513 gives you high-speed wireless
network access for your home or oce.
The DAP-1513 is Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11n compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate with other 802.11n compatible
wireless client devices. The DAP-1513 is also backwards compatible with 802.11b/g and oers dual band support for 802.11a.
With its Setup Wizard, the DAP-1513 ensures that you will be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of minutes.
The DAP-1513 features Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) to provide an enhanced level of security for wireless
data communications. The DAP-1513 also includes additional security features to keep your wireless connection safe from
unauthorized access.
• Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network
overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.

TOTAL SECURITY
The most complete set of security features including WPA/WPA2 encryption to protect your network against outside intruders.
TOTAL COVERAGE
Provides greater wireless signal rates even at farther distances for best-in-class home coverage.
ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE
The D-Link Wireless N Dual Band MediaBridge® (DAP-1513) is an 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up
to 650% faster than an 802.11g wireless connection (also faster than a 100Mbps wired Ethernet connection). Create a secure wireless
network to share photos, les, music, video, printers, and network storage throughout your home. Connect the DAP-1513 to router and
share your high-speed Internet access with everyone on the network. In addition, this Range Extender includes a Quality of Service
(QoS) engine that keeps digital phone calls (VoIP) and online gaming smooth and responsive, providing a better Internet experience.
TOTAL NETWORK SECURITY
The DAP-1513 supports all of the latest wireless security features to prevent unauthorized access, be it from over the wireless network
or from the Internet. Support for WPA and WPA2 standards ensure that you’ll be able to use the best possible encryption method,
regardless of your client devices.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely
aect wireless signal range.

Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DAP-1513 provides up to 300Mbps* wireless connection with other 802.11n wireless
devices. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming,
and real-time audio.
• Compatible with IEEE 802.11g Devices - The DAP-1513 is still fully compatible with the 802.11g standards, so it can
connect with existing 802.11g PCI, USB, and Cardbus adapters.
• WPS PBC - (Wi-Fi Protected Setup Push Button Conguration) Push Button Conguration is a button that can be pressed
to add the device to an existing network or to create a new network. A virtual button can be used on the utility while
a physical button is placed on the side of the device.
This easy setup method allows you to form a secured wireless link between the DAP-1513 and another WPS enabled
device. A PC is no longer needed to log into the Web-based interface.
Features
• WPS PIN - (Wi-Fi Protected Setup Personal Identication Number ) A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add
the access point to an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of
the access point. For extra security, a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the
Administrator (“admin” account) can change or reset the PIN.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DAP-1513 lets you control what
information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server.
Congure your access point to your specic settings within minutes.

Section 2 - Installation
Installation
In the Wireless Client mode, the DAP-1513 acts as a wireless network adapter for your Ethernet-enabled device (such as a game
console or a TV set-top box). Connect your Ethernet-enabled device to the AP using an Ethernet cable. The AP Client mode
can support multiple wired clients.
If you are going to connect several Ethernet-enabled devices to your DAP-1513, connect the LAN port of the DAP-1513 to an
Ethernet switch, then connect your devices to this switch.
Example: Connect a gaming console using an Ethernet cable to the DAP-1513. The unit is set to Wireless bridge which will
wirelessly connect to a wireless router on your network.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless access point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the
operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings,
or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types
of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to
follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link access point and other network devices to a minimum.
Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that
the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a
45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters)
thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for
better reception.
3. Building Materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on
range. Try to position access points, wireless access points, and computers so that the signal passes through
drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh
tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF
noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security
systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not
in use.
